Ruzasvir (formerly MK-8408) was developed as a novel NS5A inhibitor to improve upon the potency and barrier to resistance of early compounds. Ruzasvir inhibited HCV RNA replication with 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) of 1 to 4 pM in Huh7 or Huh7.5 cells bearing replicons for HCV genotype 1 (GT1) to...
